It has been recorded before, but not for the 075 collection. Duplicates of stories are always welcome.

There is no need to preclaim in this collection. You can record your story and upload it when its ready.
Cheers,
-Amy

FYI - I know there a couple of minor stumbles remaining in this recording, attempts to correct them were not able to replicate the tempo and tone.

I found an obituary for Michael Zuroy - his dates are 1918-2007.

He actually has a wiki page in the French version, oddly enough.

Interesting. He is now in the catalog.

I would be interested in reading Theodore Savage. I believe this would fall under a full book solo project as well. If so, do I just post it in New Projects Launch Pad? Thanks! Sorry, new to this so any help/feedback appreciated.

Hi! I am attempting to upload a file that I recorded for the sci-fi short story "The Odyssey of Sam Meecham", but for the first time, I am having trouble with the uploader.

It is telling me that there is the following problem with my file, labeled ssf075_sammeecham_fritch_sdw_128kb.mp3

= Error SyntaxError: Unexpected token < in JSON at position 0

I have no idea what this means or how to fix it. I put the file into the Checker and it passed, so...

Any advice/help is welcome! Thanks.

It would have to go on the launch pad. Here is the thread on how to set it up.

It looks like a great book. Good luck!

Hi Stacy,
My guess would be there is a space in the filename somewhere. It doesn't look like it, but maybe there is. It may be worth a try to rename the file and trying again.
Sorry for the trouble.

Hi!

Would it be possible to read "2 B R 0 2 B" by Kurt Vonnegut? I figured I'd check before doing anything.

Thank you!

Here is a sci fi short story: "The Odyssey of Sam Meecham" by Charles E. Fritch

19:46

https://librivox.org/uploads/alg1001/ssf075_sammeecham_fritch_sdw_128kb.mp3

Link to text: https://www.gutenberg.org/files/29355/29355-h/29355-h.htm

P.S. I was having trouble uploading this and kept getting a JSON error. For future reference, I solved it by logging out of LibriVox, then back in. I think my login may have expired and then I no longer had permission to upload, but it wasn't telling me that with words, but in unintelligible computer jargon.

Thanks!

Stacy,

That is exactly what happens -- when your log in to the upload page times out, it doesn't say so, it just starts giving you errors such as you experienced. Closing the tab/window and reopening from the link on the thread for the book/collection you are trying to post to clears it up!

Most certainly, Merecat. That is a popular one.
